Hormonal Control of Polyribosome Formation in Barley Aleurone Layers 1

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The addition of abscisic acid to barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Himalaya) aleurone layers at the same time as gibberellic acid completely prevents the gibberellin-induced increases in the percentage of polysomes, the formation of polyribosomes, and the synthesis of α-amylase, even when the molar concentration of gibberellic acid is four times greater than the concentration of abscisic acid. The addition of abscisic acid to aleurone cells producing α-amylase (midcourse addition) inhibits the further synthesis of α-amylase and decreases the percentage of polysomes but does not change the number of ribosomes per cell.
